I am a student at the University of Rhode Island, studying for a B.A. in Biology and Secondary Education, with a minor in General Science. I am from Cranston, Rhode Island and attended Cranston High School West. I play tennis, and love watching football. I am a huge Patriots fan! I have a passion for travel and visiting new places, and I love going to the beach. Over the summer of 2010 I had an internship in the Toxicology lab at the Pharmacy school in which I developed a procedure for measuring cholesterol in the liver of animals, and this reinforced my desire to teach students to love science and all its possibilities as I do.
JM Genetics Unit Plan
This unit is going to build upon students knowledge of how genes of living things are determined and passed on from parent to offspring. It will also help students understand how genetic variability occurs and how mutations can cause disease or benefit a population. This unit will break many misconceptions students may have about heredity and how certain diseases can be recognized and possible cured. Finally, from the material that students learn from this segment they will have a better understanding of the Human Genome Project, why genetics is the major focus of medicine in the 21st century and where these studies might be leading.
